There Is A Different Way To Live

Live Conscious. This is something we can all do. When we make living consciously our daily practice we free ourselves from conflict and negative self-talk. When we live consciously we live wisely, think deeply, and love generously. We invite you to slow down—read our blogs, join our webinars, take advantage of our private consultations and online courses, and join us on one of our week-long retreats where we all learn to live and love better.

Webinars & Podcasts

Experiential Retreats

Two or three times a year we conduct small group retreats in beautiful locations around the world. We get away from the hustle and bustle—enjoy time and space to reflect, learn new skills and connect with other people equally interested in living consciously.

Online Course

Thrilled To Be Alive!

This is our new online course. Each month, ten people are selected to participate in this 21-day program. We meet one evening per week via video conference. Each member selects a “buddy” to work with for the course. Together, we learn how to be thrilled with our lives—for real!
